The Colonial hotel Islazul Gran Hotel is located right in the Camaguey city centre. The hall and the breakfast terrace at the top are amazing, in colonial style: it is just like a jump in the past...! Rooms are not superb though... Not too clean and very old fashioned. Unfortunately, going on with our trip all over Cuba, we noticed... More

After having had a bad experience at an Islazul hotel in Holguin, we were hoping for a better experience in Camaguey. This was not to be. The hotel lobby was attractive and the room was small and simple but adequate. The standards of catering, organisation and service left much to be desired. Indeed, the staff in the dining room at...

We stayed for two nights, Saturday night and a Sunday night. This hotel is located towards the middle of a very busy shopping/eating strip. Which seemed a little odd to me. Our room was nice (Cuban Standards :), with a balcony overlooking the front "strip." The balcony was nice, except that the air conditioner unit was right above the balcony... More

I stayed 3 nights in Room 401. The door to this room opened onto a small reception room with a mini-fridge. The main room was large with a double bed, dim lighting, old wooden furniture, tiled bath (only occasional hot water), tall doors opening onto a teeny balcony with good city views, powerful AC, and a flat screen TV. No... More

The location is in the heart of what is considered a difficult place to negotiate given the twisting and narrow streets. Our room was spacious with TV, good air conditioning (no noise) and bed quality. The room was also very clean. The bathroom was fine although not huge with only soap available as an amenity. Water was hot at all... More

The hotel is hard to get to. If you're traveling by bus, your driver will need to know the labyrinthine streets well in order to get you near the back door (the closest access); I have no idea what you'd do if you had a car. Taxi or pedicab are the best bet. The hotel has a big-city feel despite... More

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night during our country tour. Initially our tour program said Hotel Camaguey and we were really concerned since it was rated last here on TA. So when we ended up at Gran hotel it was a huge relief. The hotel is located in the center of the city on a pedestrian only street,... More

We stayed in this 1939 vintage hotel for two nights and were pleased with its pedestrian mall location and its ambiance. Room 202 had functioning air conditioning and was very clean. Its small balcony on the front of the hotel was a nice feature, though it could be a bit noisy in the late afternoon. The high ceilings and crown... More

The hotel had charater to burn and the location was nice, but a broken elevator and poor service were big minuses. The room was a bit small and odd, but it had a certain charm. The indoor courtyard and the roof top bar were the best features of the hotel. The food in the restaurant was pretty good, and the... More

July 2012 Our trip did not originally include a 24 hr layover in Camaguey! After a week at an all inclusive on Playa Santa Lucia, we were waiting and waiting at the airport in Camaguey to go home - however there were mechanical problems with the plane, and to make a long story short, all of the passengers were bused...
